Tropical Fossils in Alaska

About

Tropical Fossils in Alaska is a research-focused initiative that examines a 20‑inch fossil palm leaf discovered near the Malaspina Glacier in Alaska. The fossil, dating back 45‑60 million years, provides insight into past climate conditions, suggesting either a warmer ancient climate or tectonic movement of the rocks. The project explores plant adaptations and the historical biodiversity of tropical versus arctic ecosystems.
